Resumo(s)
Increasingly, Protected Areas (PAs) are sustained by a multilevel governance where
demands for public participation have occurred against the backdrop of state
reconfiguration. Little scholarly attention has been paid to how these shifts have
taken place; this paper aims to diachronically assess the involvement of non-state
actors in the governance of PAs in Portugal. Our findings indicate that while the
range of actors involved in the decision-making process has progressively widened,
their engagement remains mainly consultative. Moreover, PAs managed by local
authorities and private actors have been recognised, yet local authorities’ involvement
in PAs managed by state actors has been recently reduced. These apparently
contradictory trends seem to illustrate a common rationale: state actors are fighting to
retain control while adapting to the broadening role of multiple actors in nature
conservation policies. We conclude that new governance approaches do not
necessarily pave the way for more public participation in conservation.
